Nuremberg During World War II

Nuremberg is famous

·For its Parade Ground where mass rallies were held

·Nuremberg laws

·Bomb damage

·Nuremberg trials

So, Nuremberg is famous for four reasons to do with the war.

Not bombed so much? (But see picture)

Nuremberg was not bombed much - the major reason the War
Crimes trials were held there was that the city had not suffered much war
damage, and the courthouse and adjacent were large and intact when the war
ended, RAF Bomber Command targetted all major German cities in an attempt to
kill as many German civilians as possible. USAAF targetted all railway
junctions in Germany (including those in Nuremberg and Munich) so as to destroy
the German transport infrastructure and thus damage their war effort.
